New Delhi [India], Mar 26 (NT): The Twitter war between the grand old party Congress and the Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) turned in an uproar on Monday after Union Minister Smriti Irani took potshot into Congress president Rahul Gandhi for cornering Prime Minister Narendra Modi over NaMo app.

Taking to her official Twitter handle, Smriti Irani poked fun at  the Congress president with Chhota Bheem crack and said that even the cartoon character, "knows that commonly asked permission on Apps don't tantamount to snooping."

This comes after Rahul fired a fresh twitter-bombardment at the Prime Minister and equated him the "Big Boss who likes to spy on Indians."

Earlier today, Rahul, in a tweet, alleged that the NaMo app secretly records the user's location, audio, video, contact information and other personal data.

"Modi's NaMo App secretly records audio, video, contacts of your friends and family and even tracks your location via GPS. He's the Big Boss who likes to spy on Indians. Now he wants data on our children. 13 lakh NCC cadets are being forced to download the APP," Rahul tweeted.

The Twitter uproar erupted yesterday after Rahul accused Prime Minister Modi of leaking details of users to US firms in the course of the NaMo app.

"Hi! My name is Narendra Modi. I am India's Prime Minister. When you sign up for my official App, I give all your data to my friends in American companies," Rahul tweeted.

Rahul made the remarks after the media report quoted a French security researcher claiming that the Narendra Modi app sends all the device info and personal data including email IDs, photos, gender and names of the users without approval to a third-party domain belonging to an American company.

However, government sources on Sunday spelt out that the app does not ask for a blanket access to the users' personal data. (NT)
